EXECUTIVE SUMMARY McCardle Cultural Heritage Pty Ltd (MCH) was commissioned by Seashells Ltd to prepare an Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment for the proposed rezoning of land located at Lot 18 DP 576415, 363 Diamond Beach Road, Diamond Beach. The objective of the project is to rezone part of the subject land to SP3 Tourist Zone, and E2 Environmental Conservation Zone under the provisions of Greater Taree Local Environmental Plan 2010 (GT LEP 2010). The study area is currently the site of the Seashells Resort and lies within the Greater Taree Local Government Area (LGA). Lot 18 has existing tourist facilities located thereon and also have development consents for additional tourist facilities that may be developed in the future. The assessment was undertaken to meet the NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW), now known as the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH), Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Consultation Requirements for Proponents 2010 (DECCW 2010), the OEH Guide to Investigating, Assessing and Reporting on Aboriginal Cultural Heritage in NSW (OEH 2011), the DECCW Code of Practice for Archaeological Investigation of Aboriginal Objects in New South Wales (DECCW 2010b), and the brief. The study area was located along Diamond Beach and consisted of a very low gentle eastern facing slope that is subject to regular water loging and and the eastern, developed protion, has no remaining original landform remaining. Moor Creek (3rd Order) is located approximately 200 metres to the north west of the study area and Diamond Beach is also located approximately 100 metres to the east. Therefore the study area may be considered low in terms of suitable occupation in relation to resources of water availability and associated resources. The survey identified no archaeological sites or Potential Archaeological Deposits due to a combination of factors including impacts from the existing tourist facility, landform and distance from reliable water and associated resources required for camping. MCH recommend that: 1) The persons responsible for the management of onsite works will ensure that all staff, contractors and others involved in construction and maintenance related activities are made aware of the statutory legislation protecting sites and places of significance. Of particular importance is the National Parks and Wildlife Amendment (Aboriginal Objects and Aboriginal Places) Regulation 2010, under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974; and 2) Should any Aboriginal objects be uncovered during works, all work will cease in that location immediately and the Environmental Line contacted. Lot 18 DP 576415, 363 Diamond Beach Road, Diamond Beach, NSW 2016 McCardle Cultural Heritage Pty 2 GLOSSARY Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Values: traditional values of Aboriginal people, handed down in spiritual beliefs, stories and community practices and may include local plant and animal species, places that are important and ways of showing respect for other people. Aboriginal Place: are locations that have been recognised by the Minister for Climate Change and the Environment (and gazetted under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974) as having special cultural significance to the Aboriginal community. An Aboriginal Place may or may not include archaeological materials. Aboriginal Site: an Aboriginal site is the location of one or more Aboriginal archaeological objects, including flaked stone artefacts, midden shell, grinding grooves, archaeological deposits, scarred trees etc. Artefact: any object that is physically modified by humans. Artefact scatter: a collection of artefacts scattered across the surface of the ground. Also referred to as open camp sites. Assemblage: a collection of artefacts associated by a particular place or time, assumed generated by a single group of people, and can comprise different artefact types. Axe: a stone‐headed axe usually having two ground surfaces that meet at a bevel. Backed artefact: a stone tool where the margin of a flake is retouched at a steep angle and that margin is opposite a sharp edge. Background scatter: a term used to describe low density scatter of isolated finds that are distributed across the landscape without any obvious focal point. Blade: a flake that is at least twice as long as it is wide. Bondi point: a small asymmetrical backed artefact with a point at one end and backing retouch. Ceremonial Sites: Included in the OEH AHIMS database are sites which were associated with the spiritual beliefs and activities of Aboriginal people. They may be natural places in the landscape or places where structures were made as part of particular ceremonies. Structures include bora rings, stone arrangements etc. Contact site: a site that displays interaction between early colonists and Aboriginal Australians. Core: a chunk of stone from which flakes are removed and will have one or more negative flake scars but no positive flake scars. The core itself can be shaped into a tool or used as a source of flakes to be formed into tools. Cortex: the rough outer weathered surface of a rock, usually chemically altered and removed during knapping. Cultural deposit: sediments and materials laid down by, or heavily modified by human activity. Lot 18 DP 576415, 363 Diamond Beach Road, Diamond Beach, NSW 2016 McCardle Cultural Heritage Pty 3 Cultural Heritage Sensitivity: This term is used to denote not just the value of a place in the landscape to Aboriginal people, but also the vulnerability of the value. For instance, places with important spiritual values may be very sensitive because the rocks, pools or trees are easily damaged by the activities of others, or only a very few examples remain. Debitage: small pieces of stone debris that break off during the manufacturing of stone tools. These are usually considered waste and are the by product of production (also referred to as flake piece). Download 0.87 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
